Global equity markets are trading lower today, being pressured by poor performance of tech stocks. Tech US100 is the worst performing US index as it drops 1.4% while small-cap US2000 declines 1.1%.
Later in the day, investors' attention will focus on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's congressional testimony on the Semiannual Monetary Report (3:00 pm GMT).
